• FIRST AMERICAN DUEL.
ll Task Finos In notion llotweon Tiro
Vouiik Illood*.
Speaking of dueling, it may or may
not please one to know that like
many another custom, good and bad,
it made its els-Atlantic beginning in
the town of Boston. It was early can
dle lighting, July 3, 1728. The thea
ter of the first American duol, or
rather its foundation, was the Royal
Exchange tavern, on King street,
now State. On the evening of that
day there met at this hotel Masters
Benjamin Woodbrldge and Ilenry
Phillips. This latter young gentle
man was of the tribe which finally
fnrnished Wendell Phillips. Both
were what the vernacular of to-day
would deaorlbe as blooded.
These young gentlemen, both under
twenty, bore swords on tholr uncon
querable hips, and incidentally a stiff
allowance of Medford rum in their
atomacha Thus by virtue of this
unhappy conjunction of rum and ra
pier, were they in the very mood and
ffame for war.
One of them,at this Royal Exchange
tavern that unfortunate night, re
vealed views touching the other that
no VAnllAmnn with his hln.rlrt in his
belt and his, rum beneath it would
tolerate for a moment. It was Wood
bridge who was insulted, lie sug
gested Boston common, hard by, as a
place to put immediate honor to test,
thither they fared, making sans doubt
a trail like a corkscrew from the ef
fects of rum and wrath combined.
There was plenty of light. The
moon which, whether it holds its lan
tern while lovers meet or bathes a
Tennyson on his bed of death, can
always be rolled on to unwinklngly
play its part, lent its mild touch to
the combat
The pot-valorous young men drew
and engaged. There was a brief
olashing, a spark or two; they closed.
Then young Woodbridge staggered
back. He had Inaugurated the virtu
ous and profitable duel with his life.
They found his cold young body on
the common next morning. He had
received satisfaction.
DANIEL WEBSTER.
Jelaad With Jenny Lind In Binging
••Hill Columbia.*'
, Jenny Lind gave a concert at Wash
ington during a session of congress,
and sent invitations to the president
Mr. Fillmore, membersof the cablnot,
Mr. Clay and other distinguished men.
The Russian minister, Mr. Bodiseo,
had given a dinner party the same
evening, so that the concert was half
over before the president, the con
gressmen and the cabinet officers en
tered.
The gentlemen were received with
applause, as Fillmore, WebBter, Clay
and Crittenden were always received,
and when the applause had subsided
Jenny Lind struck out singing “Hall
' Columbia."
At the close of the first verse Web
ster's patriotism boiled over; he could
sit still no longer, and rising, he
added his deep,. sonorous, bass voice
to the flute-like notes of the great
singer in the stirring chorus.
Never in the whole course of Jenny
Lind’s career did Bhe ever hear one
half of the applause as that with
which her song and Webster’s voice
In the chorus'were reeeived.
Mrs. Webster pulled at her hus
band's coat-tail to make him stop, but
it was no earthly use; he kept on,
joining in at the close of each verse.
The narrator of the incident says:
“I thave Been Eublnl, Lablache and
the two Orisis on the stage at one
time, but such a happy conjunction
In the national air os Jenny Lind's
soprano and Daniel Webster's bass I
, have never seen before. At the close
of the song Webster made her such a
bow as Chesterfield would have
deemed a fortune for his son, and
whieh eclipsed D’Orsay’s best.
Jenny Lind courtesledto the floor,
the audience applauded and Webster,
determined not to be outdone in
politeness,bowed again; Miss Lind re
eourtested, the audience reapplauded,
and this was repeated several times.
In Orut Chinese Fair.
Prominent Chinamen on the Paciflo
const are predicting1 a big exodus ot
their countrymen from this continent
and all other lands to the celestial
empire within a year or two. They
will go to be present at the big fair
which occurs there once in sixty years
and at which every subject of the
great emperor tries to be present.
“Hundreds of thousands, maybe mil
lions of Chinese from all parts of the
empire and the world will be there,"
aays Interpreter Pon Se, of San Fran
•cisco. “All nations will be invited
and everybody ought to go, for it will
be the sight of a lifetime.” The fair,
he sayg, was founded many centuries
ago Mid has been held regularly since.
He is not sure of the exact date, but
it is within two years. Great prepar
ations are being made for it all over
the empire, and announcement of it
will soon be made to the world.
Where the Monkey la Deficient.
The monkey's intelligence has never
been able t6 arrive at a point which
'enables that animal to achieve the
Untying (of a knot. You may tie a
monkey with a cord fastened with the
simplest form of a common knot, and
unless the beast can break the string
or gnaw it through, he will never get
loose. To untie the knot requires
observation and reasoning power, and
though a monkey may possess both
he has neither in a sufficient degree
to enable him to overcome the
difficulty._
Sixes In Plekannlnles.
I once asked my old darky the age
of the two boys be left behind him in
old “Kaintuck." Thoughtfully, he
polished his bald, old skull a moment
and then said: “Dere'B one of ’em big
enough to plow and de ndder’s two
aiaes smaller.”
FEATHERS AND PLUMES.
Brutal Wujr In Which They Aro Torn
l'rom Ostriches in Cairo.
I should like to hear from the Socie
ty for the Protection of Birds, why the
only birds’ feathers the wearing of
which they countenance are the
plumes of the ostrich. A lady tells mo
that she has declined an invitation to
join the society because it does not
protect the ostrich, and in justification
of her decision sho gives the following
account of plucking ostriches on a
feather farm. If the facts are accu
rate I think that they fully prove her
case.
"The good ladies who belong to
this society, and who condemn as
‘cruel’ tlio simple mercy of death,
should go to the ostrich farm near
Cairo, Egypt—I believe the largest
there is—and hear from those in
charge a description of tho annual
feather gathering. Tho first year a
bird is plucked ho can easily be
cuught and thrown by one man. The
feathers aro then wrenched, blooding,
from his tortured body, after which
tlio marabout and down are torn off.
“After one experience the birds can
only bo caught with the utmost diffi
culty, and it takes six men to throw
an old bird. 'It is very hard work
plucking,’ we aro told ’the feathers
are bedded so tight in the flesh.’ 1
asked if it would not do as well to clip
off tho feathers close, and was told
that the dealers will only buy those
with tho perfect tiulll. All the un
dressed feathers offered for sale on
tho farm had blood on the quills, and
we were told that when the annual
plucking takes place the shrieks of
the birds can bo heard to a great dis
tance on the still air.
SERVANTS IN INDIA.
They Save Annoyance—llow to Prevent
Tlielr stealing.
Domestic life in India is without the
annoyance of the servant question.
You never need tell a servant what
you want done In that country; they
seem to know it by Intuition. The
ordinary household has twelve ser
vants—a cook, a waiter, a sort of
valet de cliambre, and, if you have
two horses, two grooms; one man to
run before you when you go out rid
ing, and take care of your horse; an
other man whose business is to collect
for your horse’s feed the grass which
grows in a vino-like manner upon the
roads. Then in summer time you re
quire three to four men, who work
the large fans or “punkas” over you
night and day whilo you are waking
and whilo you are sleeping; then last,
but not least, a watchman.
This last institution is a peculiar
one. If you dtd not have him you
would be liablo to find some
thing stolen every night. Strangest
of all, the only man who is a
successful watchman must be a thief
—the caste of a thief. lie makes no
pretensions of being anything else,
but so long as you have him in your
employ nothing will ever bo stolen.
While the native Hindoos are very
dishonest, the only way in which to
keep your valuables safe is to give
them into their hands for keeping. If
I locked 8500 in my chest I would be
sure that some titno or other one of
my servants would steal it; but if I
should give the money to a servant
and tell him to keep it for me he would
guard it with his life.
A FRUGAL CANINE THIEF.
And an Old Darkey Made Its Conduct
the Basis or a Prediction.
George S. Ken ward of Spokane, has
unlimited faith in the sagacity of
dogs. The other day, he says, a large
Newfoundland wandered into a meat
market on Second avenue. The ani
mal first satisfied himself that nobody
was looking, and quietly abstracted a
bologna sausage from the show win
dow. Then with a nonchalant strut
he wandered aoross the street and
buried it on a vacant lot.
Mr. Ken ward and several other par
ties secreted themselves and watched
the dog’s operations. He would walk
leisurely past the market and look in.
If the occupants were not looking in
the direction of the front door he
would dash iu, seize a bologna, cross
the street and cache it. This was re
peated three times, when the thief
discovered that he was observed and
fled. Search revealed six large sau
sages stored away for future emergen
ciea An old colored man who was
present advanced the theory that the
dog’s conduct was a sure sign of hard
times.
“Take my advice,” he said, “an’ put
padlocks on yo’ chicken house doahs,
fo’ dar’ll be er pow'fui sight of misde
meanorin’ gwine on, sho’.”
Hospital Patients on .Strike.
The very latest thing in strikes oc
curred recently in Edinburgh. It ap
pears that the patients in one of the
wards of a hospital, becoming tired
of being examined night after night,
went on a strike and absolutely re
fused to allow themselves to be
further examined. The medical press
in commenting on the strike says that
one must admit that their contention
was not an unreasonable one, for al
though submission to the exigencies
of hospital practico is the only way
that patients can materially repay
benefits received, to have twenty stu
dents, more or less, sounding them at
night is apt to lead to worse things
than mere loss of temper.

A KNOWINQ DOC.
The Proper Plaon fur the Parrot Wee
the Crazy Ward.
When Dr. Heine Marks of St Louis,
took charge of the city hospital he
found a lean and lank greyhound
that had belonged to his predecessor.
The dog would not loave the building,
and, having been trained to carry a
basket, he made himself so useful
that Dr. Marks decided to let him
stay. The dog is very fond of Bleep
•ing under the registor in Dr. Marks’
private oillco.
Dr. Marks has a parrot that has
almost mastered the English language
and is a very good mimic. The parrot
has been in the habit of waiting until
the dog was asleep when it would
whistle and awake the greyhound.
Reilly, the dog, developed a great dis
like for his disturber, but was at a loss
to find any means of retaliation. The
attendant, whose duty it is to look
after the parrot, had taken the cage
down and set it on the floor. Reilly
trotted in, and, after noticing that the
parrot was within his reach, stopped
to deliberate as to what should be the
fate of his enemy. Apparently the
greyhound concluded that he would
overlook past offenses and show the
bird some merev. Reillv crawled
under tho register and went to sleep.
lie had been there only a few min
utes when the parrot's shrill whistle
disturbed his slumbers. He jumped
up and ran around the room two or
three timoB before he was thoroughly
awake. The doors leading to the
oflice were open, and the greyhound
picked up the cage and trotted off
down the corridor, while the bird
cried in loud tones “Oh, doctor!” The
parrot’s screams attracted the atten
tion of the attendant and he watched
the dog, which paid no attention, but
ran down the hall until he reached
the ward for insane patients, when he
took the bird into a cell and set it
down.
The parrot was calling in its loudest
tones and the greyhound capered
about for awhile and then trotted
back to the office and went to slee p.
The parrot was rescued after it had
screamed until it was hoarse and the
hospital surgeons are contemplating
trepanning the dog’s head to get a
glimpse of the workings of the in
stinct that taught him that the insane
ward was the proper place for a noisy
bird.
A CHARITABLE COPPER.
Story of a Policeman Whose Humanity
Outweighed Official Duty.
A pathetic 6torv of destitution,
coupled with a fair example of “man’s
inhumanity to man,” comes from New
Albany, Kentucky.
A few days ago a man who was re
cently thrown out of employment
went to the store of a well-known
grocer in that city and asked for 10
cents’ worth of meat, saying that he
was out of work and money, but
would pay as soon as he could. He
furthermore' explained that he had
several children at home who were
half-starved. The grocer refused the
credit though the man had been one
of his most reliable customers. In
passing out the door this poor creature
Btole a small piece of meat, preferring
to take upon himself the stigma
of crime than see his children suffer.
The proprietor discovered the theft
and at once sent a policeman to arrest
the man. When the officer arrived at
the little home and saw the destitu
tion that prevailed there he turned
upon his heel, and returning to the
grocer asked what was the value of
the stolen meat. “Ten cents,” replied
this “narrow-guaged” specimen of the
higher order of the brute. The of
ficer, who at least possessed some of
the instincts of a man, instantly drew
from his pocket the required dime,
and tossing it upon the counter with
a contemptuous smile at the miserable
representative of modern civilization
behind it, walked out.
Big Hop Ranchei.
The palm for possessing the largest
single hop ranch in the world, which
has for a long time been the proud
boast of King county, Washington,
will soon pass to the east side of the
Cascade mountains. Yakima county
has laid claim to the distinction, and
by next summer will have every right
to it, for there will be growing at
that time upon her rich valley lands
GOO acres of hops in one body. The
big Snoqualmie hop ranch in King
county contains 340 acres in one body,
planted to hops, and the Lilienthals
of San Francisco own a yard at Pleas
anton, Alameda county, Cal., of 350
acres, to which they are adding 400
acres more, which, when fully planted,
will be larger than the Yakima yard.

40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
THE 1 GREAT RESIGNER.
How no Accountant Takes Ills Vacation
Spells.
Living in a fashionable town within
commuting distance of New York is a
gentleman who invariably attracts
attention by his long hair. Strangers
always conclude that he is nothing
less than a great lawyer or bank
president. When the more curious
ask his fellow-townsmen about him
they are told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one
of the best accountants m the metrop
olis, stepped up to the president of
the bank by which he is employed and
said he had decided to resign, and that
the resignation must go into effect
immediately.
The accountant left that day and
the bank was obliged to get along as
best it could without him.
Ten days later the cashier was as
tonished on entering the bank to find
the accountant hard at work at his
old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned,
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
let their strange acting employe keep
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went into the president’s office again
and tendered his resignation. It was
accepted and the man was absent for
a week or more. Then he suddenly
returned.
The same thing was repeated again
and again. Now it is a standing joke
in'that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It is his way of taking a
vacation. lie never stays away more
than two weeks.
A HORSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
A Plain, Everyday Horse Shares the
Hutlding AVlth the President.
A horse has his home in the white
house, says a Washington correspon
dent. This is a literal fact which vis
itors never discover and which few
Washington people know. The horse
which shares the executive mansion
with the president isn’t a thorough
bred. Ho has neither pedigree nor
record. He is just a plain, everyday
horse, with a white star in his fore
head, a faithful companion to Edgar
R. Beckley. And who is Edgar R.
Berkley? The man who for twenty
five years has carried to and
from the White house all of the
interesting and valuable mail re
ceived and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty. Rain
or shine, in all seasons, he makes
hourly trips between the white house
and the city postoffice. He is the
white house mail carrier. And the
horse that has his home in the white
house carries Beckley. The part of
the mansion set apart for the horse is
one corner of the conservatory. A
thin partition is all that separates
the roomy stall from the orchids.
There is just room enough for the
stall and a temporary supply of feed,
and there the horse eats and sleeps,
under the same roof with the presi
dent of the United States.
Perfumes Guard Against Microbes.
To guard against infectious diseases
it is advisable to surround ourselves,
as far as possible, by an antiseptic
atmosphere. We accomplish this in a
general way by the use of disinfeo
tants, but as many people find these
very disagreeable it is useful to know
that perfumes answer the purpose,
and are almost as destructive to mi
crobes as the strongest chemical
preparations now in use.
